Newsletter Festa del Ricamo 2011

Dear Friends,

after having presented to you the guests of the fifth edition of our Festa del Ricamo which will be held on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th of April 2011 we finally explain to you how to subscribe to the classes and the demonstration that Alessandra Caputo, McKenna Ryan and Marie-Thérèse Saint-Aubin will hold on Saturday.

This year the Festa del Ricamo is double! In fact on Saturday afternoon there will be two classes and one demonstration and both on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday our traditional market will be opened to everybody. On Sunday all of you will have the chance to meet the artists and know their secrets.

As for the classes and the demonstration, a lot of you have asked to us how to subscribe to these events. As mentioned before, they will be open to a limited number of participants as to guarantee their quality, following the designers' requests and according to the rooms we will have access to.

The assignment of the places (participants and people in the waiting list) will be decided by a draw through the website RANDOM.ORG.


You can book the class you want to take part to
from Monday 28 February until Thursday 24th of March.

You can read all the details in this page.

The three events you can book are:

• Demonstration by Marie-Thérèse Saint-Aubin sulla "pittura ad ago"


• All the secrets of patchwork with free hand applique and iron-on vliseline explained by McKenna Ryan


• The basis of bobbins lace, with Alessandra Caputo

And if you are already sure that you will spend with us a pleasant spring weekend, here is the page on the Festa that will give you all the useful details to join us together with the list of the nearest and arranged accommodations.

While we are all waiting for the subscriptions for the Festa to start, you can have a look at all our new products. New designers and already famous ones for this final part of this season like Dames of the Needle, Little House Needleworks and Mirabilia Design. Fairies, colors and fantasy decorations that already immerge us in a Carnival atmosphere!

A big hug
